Are you a guitar player?
If yes, but in your case maybe even if not, here's my 2p:
TuxGuitar has an extremely easy way of inputing notes using the numeric
keyboard as tablature (string/fret), or just point and click notes.
Chords names and/or fretboards are a shortcut away
It outputs staff, tab or both in pdf or LilyPond
